laziness has started to set in.it hasnt been easy to find stuff to do in these 5wks with everyone at work.but i still managed to, and do quite alot of things at that.somehow when pple ask me what have i been doing i havent been able to say exactly what, and the few things i list sounds so boring.
but i had fun!things like baking, painting my nails, reading my books and surprisingly alot of news, playing the piano, dancing(like twice only zz), shopping, meeting up with friends, church stuff, well i would say my 6wks were pretty fulfilling! there are also things that i need to do like packing (which takes me 10000 yrs) and getting myself a dresser with 8 drawers so that my wardrobe can be neater, i cant stand having to stack my clothes and having trouble looking for them.haha!makes me gain a bad habit of re-wearing the same things although my wardrobe is packed.
i havent started on my crafts!!!always have alot of inertia to do so cos it takes quite abit of effort although i really quite like to do it!partly cos to get the materials would cost me a bomb=x and for those that i already have im always quite reluctant to use them haha. so ironic! but i must say i am excited! gotta settle down to doing it cos once i start preceptorship i won't have time for it!
today i was shopping in town with bag heh!!to help choose a gift for a friend. and i realised my taste is so ex!!!!i really love that pair of earrings!!when im feeling richer and i find an occasion for it i'll treat myself to getting it HAHA. and again i never fail to spend money=x HAHA but it's quite well spent so im still happy! AND i resisted buying the 79buck sephora custom magnetic palette=( it's has 66 colours, 40 eye shadows, 5 eyeliners, 15 lip colour, 4 blushers and 2 bronzers! and the middle box, is for you to bring out the colours you used for the day!! i really really want it!(but less than that pair of earrings!)
it would make my mum keep mum (haha the pun!) cos she keeps nagging that i should spent less on useless stuff and pay more attention to my lousy (non-existent) make up skills. well, actually it's not that i dont know how to make up, but it's damn weird to put when none of ur friends does! i guess it doesnt hurt to start, i'll make mine super natural anw!

admire the awesomeness of this product!ohmygosh i really want it hahaha!but i want the earrings too ahhh dilemma=x am not a spendthrift by nature so 79 is alot to spend on makeup for me although yeah it's only 1plus per colour and it covers all my makeup needs in just 1 box.
on to what i did spend on!=D my 1st buy of the day is this!a zara double collared shirt for my brother!it is super sleek and the material's good and it's made in turkey NOT china and the style is so smart and chic!suitable for both work and party man!the cuffs can be turned up for a unique design! it was so awesome i couldn't resist getting it for my brother with the excuse of birthday present although it's a little pricey and dammit not discounted although it's GSS right now. i unfortunately bought a slightly too big one though zzz!wts now i know my brother needs S! slimfit somemore leh haha!

Ref 5246/407, courtesy of zara.com, looks better in reality!
my next buy (oh wait i realised i got this before the zara shirt HAHA). anw, i finally went into TWG at ion!!! super happy!just the aroma floating out of the shop already makes me go ahhhhhhhhhh~
and they have super friendly staff who are super willing to guide you and explain to you the different types of tea!! after smelling (very unprofessionally, taking a whiff out of the sample instead of fanning the smell to my nose haha) like about 10 teas and repeated smelling for some, i finally got this:

super excitesssssssss! an except from the canister:
the emblem of perfection and purity, this tea symbolises the harmony between the taste of the Orient and Europe, a magical paradox uniting fruits, flowers and refined spices into a wonderfully blended fine green tea. A tea for a special guest.
ARENT YOU SALIVATING ALREADY?=P
I didnt really want to try it after i got home cos im really sensitive to caffeine, scared i cant sleep at my already super late sleep time. but i couldnt resist showing it to my mum and she insisted on tasting haha!so i made a cup for her and shunbian taste abit myself. love the aroma!!you really can smell the tinge of spice amongst the floral! i must say i didn't really notice the spice smell in the shop, think i had too much smell in my nose alr HAHA! but when u taste it the floral prevails anw, has a pretty light taste which i like!and hehh my mum likes it too! BUT you bet she wasn't very happy when she knew the price (i alr marked down the price like by 10bucks omg) so imagine if she knew the real price=x i think it's worth it anw!im pretty kind to myself now that i sort of have an income, life's too short to be stingy! i dont really think im a spendthrift too la, dont really buy clothes that often etc heehee. just pampering myself with a slight bit of luxury like this tea and also learn how to appreciate such stuff more haha!excuses, i knowXD anw im sure this 100g of tea will last me for a pretty long time, you'll only need 2.5g per cup (im sure i'll put less than that, dont know how to estimate 2.5 LOL) so that's abt 40 days of good tea! wont drink it everyday also so yay it's a good investment for some slow-down-my-life moments away from life's stress!=D if it's good i'll consider investing in some white tea too!(i realised i can buy in loose amounts and not 100g at one shot so that i won't burn too big a hole in my pocket)
ippudo for dinner!i always forget which ones i've tried so i decided to write down this time!ate the shiromaru motoaji, which is the 1st one on the list!with an added tamago(: asked for medium noodles and was really satisfied with the texture!and the ramen's really thin so i like it! i never thought ippudo was THIS GOOD. like seriously, today's one was the best i've eaten so far! maybe cos i didnt dilly dally when i ate so the soup didnt end up too salty and the noodle all fat and soggy, but also cos we went to eat at like, 6? 1st time i never queue at ippudo man!and from observation, the crowd came in bwtn 620-640, so now you know when to come and avoid queuing!yeah side tracked, but i think cos the cook can slowly focus on cooking that few bowls that its quality was really good!=D come to think of it it's a good thing i ate the 1st on the list this time, the next time i go i can just go down the list to try the different ramens! oh and i tried bag's spicy ramen which is the seasonal one for spring 2011!if it wasnt spicy i would have taken that, im always very excited by seasonal new stuff HAHA! and actually the soup base wasnt THAT spicy, i might try that the next time, it was really good, bag ordered extra noodles and finished all his soup (sorry bag i pau toh you online HAHA!but it really shows how nice it was=p)
okay.i feel a wave of tiredness overpowering me as i hear the rain pouring outside my window. goodnights world!
